Last week Apple came through with the long-awaited updates to its MacBook Pro line. Michael and I took a trip to the Shadyside Apple Store the evening they were announced to pick up one of the new models. Not that I was anxious to get one or anything.
I love the new laptop. The LED screen is gorgeous. I took it outside on a bright afternoon and it was very usable even in full sun. That's going to be helpful when trying to use some of the free wireless available when traveling - in NYC parks, for instance.
It's fast, too, though nearly anything seems fast compared to the 12" G4 867 I was using up until March. I do still miss the size of the 12", but I'm getting to appreciate the added screen space the 15" offers.
At the moment I'm taking advantage of my new computing power to rip DVDs using Handbrake, for putting on my future iPhone. By the time I actually get my hands on one I should have our entire DVD collection iPhone ready!
